On the 15th of February, the first Young Professionals Event was organised by the Embassy of the Netherlands, with help from the Dutch Chamber, for young professionals with an interest in the Netherlands and Sweden. A large audience gathered to listen to the knowledgeable panel (Vattenfall, Undutchables Recruitment, Grow Internationals). They discussed cultural differences in the workplace between the Netherlands and Sweden by sharing personal experiences and relevant tips.This meeting was organised and moderated by the embassy's intern Lisette Sikkens and a follow-up meeting will be organised in the future by the next interns. /Lisette Sikkens

It makes me happy to see that young people are starting to get themselves involved in this kind of issue. Before, teenagers would just go out just ti have fun for themselves. But nowadays, youth are making a stand and trying to extend their hands for the best possible help they can give. I just love the fact that we are evolving, and a lot of people are starting to be aware of what's going to happen next. This event is a proof that there's still hope for each and everyone!
